To determine which compound among the given options is inorganic, let's review the nature of inorganic and organic compounds. Organic compounds typically contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds, whereas inorganic compounds often do not.

Now, let's analyze each compound:

A. [tex]\( C_6H_{12}O_6 \)[/tex]
- This is glucose, an organic compound with multiple C-H bonds.

B. [tex]\( KH_2PO_4 \)[/tex]
- This is potassium dihydrogen phosphate. It does not contain any C-H bonds.

C. [tex]\( CH_3COOH \)[/tex]
- This is acetic acid, an organic compound with C-H bonds.

D. [tex]\( C_2H_6 \)[/tex]
- This is ethane, another organic compound with C-H bonds.

E. [tex]\( C_2H_5OH \)[/tex]
- This is ethanol, also an organic compound with C-H bonds.

Given this information, the inorganic compound among them is:

B. [tex]\( KH_2PO_4 \)[/tex]

So, the correct answer is B. [tex]\( KH_2PO_4 \)[/tex].
